A Message From Kim Tate
Push me over the edge! It’s only 17 stories and I’m happy to do it for the love of Nhiyla and kids like her. You know about Nhiyla, my 9-year-old ‘Little Sister’ of 4.5 years through the Big Brothers Big Sisters Organization. Nhiyla, who requires me to be patient, listen well, negotiate the fine points, and learn to inspire. Nhiyla, who through our relationship makes ME better. I can only hope that Nhiyla gets from me even a fraction of what she gives to me in our short time together each month.
There are a lot of Nhiyla’s out there, Roberts and Jonathans too. These are future adults looking for someone NOW, a ‘Big’, to watch them dance, help them make decisions, have fun, help them understand choices, play games, help them become productive, and become well-rounded ‘Leaders of Self’.
How can you help? Simply pledge dollars right NOW on this site, just CLICK, and send me rappelling over the edge of the Hilton Hotel in downtown Tampa on March 6th to the sidewalk below. In return, your pledge will be used by Big Brothers Big Sisters to ‘match’ a child on their waiting list with an approved, adult, Mentor; a ‘Big’. With 100’s of kids on their list just waiting to be ‘matched’ there’s no time to spare. So please pledge now, a stated amount or an amount per story. Everything will be greatly appreciated.
Please click now as a fast, easy way to change the trajectory of a child’s life.
Thank you,
Kim
